Why do you run?

Running makes me feel alive and present, takes me to new places, and feeds my sense of adventure.

Describe your best marathon memory.

There are many that stand out but there was something extra special about running Nagoya Women's Marathon in Japan. It was very empowering to run with all women. Also, this is where I qualified for Boston.

Why do you pace?

Pacing is something I enjoy because it allows me to help others accomplish their goals.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I enjoyed pacing a good friend as she had been trying to break a 2 hour half marathon for quite awhile.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I enjoy running. I smile. I'm talkative, love to tell stories, and am very social. I try to stay positive and uplifting.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

See above. :)
